Interesting and good to know; my point still stands that Lisp had debuggers before Ruby and Python ever existed ;) Peter Norvig even said (circa 1997) that Lisp still has best interactive system of any language[1].
I'm not disagreeing with those points. I also looked at various (mostly free) Schemes and I agree with William Cook's comment that "Gambit's underlying capabilities for debugging are better than most". But knowing the details behind "best" is important too, so I just wanted to clear up the one sub-point about LispMs. -- Derek
